I am giving you some health tips for snoring problem
Lifestyle changes to stop snoring
Lose weight. If you’re overweight
Exercise exercising your arms, legs, and abs, for example, also leads to toning the muscles in your throat, which in turn can lead to less snoring
Quit smoking. smoking irritates the membranes in the nose and throat which can block the airways and cause snoring.
Avoid alcohol, sleeping pills, and sedatives because they relax the muscles in the throat

Sleep on your side instead of your back
Consult chest Physician for further management
